4. Vision and Mission
California Lions Foundation (CLF) is a California, non-profit, tax-exempt, IRC 501(c) (3) corporation with the sole purpose to provide matching financial grants to California Lions Clubs
CLF matching grants are provided to enable California Lions clubs to provide even greater service to their local communities.

5. Grant Opportunities
CLF matching grants will be available in from $500-$10,000, for humanitarian projects that do not qualify for support from other foundations.
The California Lions Foundation (CLF) is designed to complement grants already available from Lions Clubs International Foundation and other local foundations.
100% of All Donations Received Will Serve Californians through California Lions. CLF ensures that 100% of donations are put to work to provide service to California communities.

6. Grant Opportunities
CLF will be able to aid in disaster relief that are not “natural disasters.”
In 2014, a fire destroyed the food delivery trucks at the Monterey County Foodbank. The fire was determined to be arson, not a natural disaster and as a result, the local Lions were not able to get assistance from LCIF.
CLF can help if other Lions grants are not available. CLF will provide matching grants from $500 – $10,000 with a more streamlined review and approval process.

7. CLF Funding
Funding for the Foundation will be provided from donations from corporate sponsors, individuals, Lions Clubs and local Lions.
CLF will provide a valuable vehicle for Lions clubs to approach California corporations and individuals actively seeking partnerships with service groups as part of their “Social Mission” and our “Social Consciousness” campaigns, such as Lions Eyes Across California Project.
These individuals and corporations can be assured that 100% of their donations will serve Californians through California Lions.

8. Designated Funding
CLF will be available to partner with local Lions Clubs that do not have a IRC 501(c)(3) designation.
CLF will be available to accept tax deductible donations from individuals, businesses or corporations that are meant for use by a Lions Club that does not have a 501(c)(3) designation.
Any donation such as this will require prior approval by CLF.
